DRAWING SHEET ANSI) METHOD MAKING- SE.

Application filed. April 13, 1922. Serial No. 552,820.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HAVY Q. R. Cnownnu, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drawing Sheets and Methods of Making Same, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to drawing Sheets and has for one of its objects the provision of a simple and eflicient drawing board or paper particularly adaptable for easily and quickly making pictures for advertising cuts, and the like.

A further object is the provision of a simple and eflicient method for making pictures.

A further object is the provision of a drawing paper or board made up of a plurality of sheets with artistic matter on the underlying sheets for furnishing various parts of a complete picture when the upper sheets are cut away.

A further object is the provision of an eiiicient adhesive for securing the sheets or plies of my improved drawing board togeth'er.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

An embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which-- Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of a piece of drawing board made in accordance with my invention and in which the plies thereof at a corner are separated to show their rela-- tions;

Fig. 2 is a similar view of a drawing board having a complete picture thereon, made 1nnumber of sheets may be secured together accordance with my invention; and

Fig. 3 is a fragmental section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Heretofore various methods and means have been used to produce drawings suitable for maln'ng cuts for advertising matter, and the like. In some of these methods the drawing board or.paper -1s first prepared with the background or other parts of the picture thereon and then the main part of the picture made on such background, etc. Oftentimes these backgrounds are of very fine lines or stipplings close together, which tend to cause fatigue in the eyes of the artist. This makes such papers quite. hard to work on. With my improved drawing board and process for making drawings the artist makes his picture on a white or other plain surface where there are no lines or configurations which inter fere with his vision during'the making of his icture.

y improved drawing board is made upof a plurality of sheets or plies, 4, 5 and 6 which are secured together as indicated. The sheet 6 whichis uppermost is made plain so that the artist can make his picture on it in the usual manner of using plain drawing boards or papers; After he has finished the part of his picture which he intends to make, he takes a sharp knife, not shown, and cuts out portions of the top of sheet 6 or sheets 6 and 5 to expose desired portions of the under These sheets 4 and 5 are prepared sheets. /with configurations which will represent the kind of background or other parts of the picture desired. If he wants the kind of background on sheet 5, he simply cuts through sheet 6, where desired, and removes the pieces cut around to expose the proper portions of sheet 5. If he desires to show the configurations on sheet 4- he cuts through sheets 6 and 5 where desired and removes the pieces. i

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 it will be apparent that the parallel lines in the circular background adjacent the picture of the ladys head is the configuration shown on sheet 4: of Fig. 1. and to expose sheet 4 porremoved. Near the upper left-hand corner of the picture of Fig. 2 the .stipple background is shown, and to expose this background sheet 6 only would have been cut and portions removed.

It will be apparent that a fewer or greater as desired and that any kind of configurations may be formed on said sheets.

Sheets 4, 5 and 6 may be secured together in any desirable manner, such as by using a suitable adhesive which willhold the sheets firmly together and still permit the cut-out portions to be easily removed. I .find that by taking pure rubber cement as found 'on the market, which is used by draftsmen and artists, and adding thereto 6% of ordinary sewing machine oil and then thinning the mixture of rubber cement and sewing machine oil with benzine so that it flows freely from a' brush or pasting machine, a very desirable adhesive is formed. I do not desire to be confined to this particular adhesive, but

find than: when this adhesive is used to secure the sheets, the perts cut out can he ensiiy peeied oti end that the remaining portions of the sheets Wiii remein ii'rrniy together, This edhesive Wiii permit the drewing heard or paper to he used c tong time setter having heen rncnuiis/ctured end stiii permit the out out portions to he removed easily The oii and henzine tend to Weaken the ruhher ceinent end therefore the quantity used may he varied under ditierent circumstances to' nocoinpiish desired results,

I cisirnzi. Adrnwing cord comprising e piureiity of sheets secured together in stitched reintion, nit of said sheets except-the topmost sheet heving ertistic heck ground mutter thereon and openings in certain sheets exposing portions of thehack ground matter on snid sheets, the exposed heck ground nietter end picture matter on the topmost sheet cooperating to form a. complete picture.

2. droning card comprising a piureiity of sheets secured together, the topmost sheet being Without configuretions thereon and the other sheets each having various artistic inetter disposed on its upper surface.

3. A picture car-rd comprising at piuroiity of thin sheets secured in stacked rotation with picture representetions on the top sides of eech of seid sheets end openings in cernecessiruin of the sheets exposing picture representetions on the under sheets with eii of the exposed picture representations cooperating to form a finished picture.

4:. The method of inching pictures which consists in securing e. phireiity of sheets in stitched neiotion with picture representetions on the top side of each or said sheew, then cutting away a, portion of en upper sheet to expose picture representations on at lower sheet so thet the picture represcntutions on the inner sheet exposed through seid opening Wiii cooperate with the picture representations on the top sheet to form n complete picture. 7

5. The method of making pictures (3031 sisting in rushing background representetions all over one sheet, then securing a piano sheet over the background representations on the tirstuncntioned sheet end marking the main portion of the desired picture on said piene sheet end fine-Hy cutting sway portions of said. piene sheet Where the heckground representations are to appear, exposmg the background representations on the first-mentioned sheet.

In testimony whereof I here signed my name to this specification on this iftth duy off Aprii, A. 3D. 1922.
